Do you use or do you recommend using Tubemogul for video submissions?

Hi Jim,

2 Questions if you don’t mind..

Do you do most of your work on a pc or a mac

What do you think are best compression rates when converting to flash

I wait for your videos to pre-load before I hit play, so they are stored in memory and playback should be completely smooth. But they are STILL very choppy (stop-start-stop) during playback. I never have this problem on YouTube videos. Sometimes playback is SO bad I just close the video.

Any idea why this is happening?

Jim,

Newbie here, I have no recording device or program to submit my question what do you suggest I can us? Can webcam be used in this process?

Opps! Sorry Jim,

Just getting start online here. IF unable to submit a question were can I view these submissions and answers at?

Hey Jim,

I shot a 36 second video. low res and there is no way I can get it as a .avi under the 100 meg limit drop.io limits it to.

Am I the only one having this problem or do you have a large file account.

36 sec = approx 760megs.

Hi Jim,
If your goal in requiring people to submit a question by video (rather than by email, support ticket or posting to your blog) is to get them using video so it becomes second nature to them, then it is a good idea. At least for the 2% of your viewers who will take the extra time to go through the four steps above to ask a question.

I’ve never used the drop.io site. Pretty neat! It’s amazing how technology has changed our worlds.

I’m trying to upload .avi . . . should have made it .wmv because avi’s are always huge! Oh well, not going to re-do it now. Patience is a virtue!

Hey Jim,

.avi works if I take it right from the camera and not into Sony Vegas for editing. When sony gets it that’s when it baloons in size.

That said I edited a clip in Sony Vegas, savde it to .wmv but it altered some of my graphics and created horizontal black borders across the top and bottom of the video … the upside is the file size was fraction 15 mgs vs 750 mgs as an avi.

Cheers,
michael

Very cool way to describe how you want us to do this, Jim!

Now I just have to come up with some questions so I can play too!

THANKS!

I had a hard time getting into your Adversity webinar the other night.

Jim,
A simple question mate…

What draws more views and attention and really gets people involved

a) Serious videos with good content
b) Humorous videos with a bit of comedy with good content

Thanks Jimbo!

What a drag, I am not doing any vid yet,, so I guess I have not any questions.

Hi Jim
Trick Question – Can I make You Smile (for free)?

My videos are on VHS and I intend using them on my website!
At present, I’m learning how to use the software to transfer from VHS recorder to my laptop,then burn to DVD. Then using Audacity programme to edit (and refer to Windows Movie Maker)and hopefully at the end of all this, upload to YouTube and link back to my website.
(PHEW!!)
So I can’t ask you a video question yet (LOL)
regards
Graham

P.S. Jim – You’re lucky…. You’ve got Mike Stewart

Hi Jim,
I just submitted my video and I want to thank you for this format.
BTW using your web cam to make a video is not a good idea. Drop.io will not convert it. Do it with a video camera and save as a WMV that works best.

Hi Jim,

Submitted a video asking the same question but also wanted to do it here.

How did you produce the video above?

I like the way it moves from one point to another.

Thanks

Ian
